What Pacific islands group experienced an attempted coup in June 2008?
June 20, 2008 Cook Islands Deputy Prime Minister Terepai Maoate says eight chiefs seeking to dissolve Parliament and seize control of the country risk being charged with treason. The chiefs yesterday met Mr Maoate to discuss their actions, which some have described as an attempted coup. Mr Maoate later said the chiefs must apologise and abandon their claim to power.
